The warm light of the autumn sun shines in through the window and falls on the two beautiful girls, as if with a faint halo, peaceful and quiet, and the years are quiet.
Princess Gaoyang let go of her arm around Wu Meiniang's slender waist, turned to hold her hand, and sighed softly: "Yesterday I went to the third sister's house and listened to the prince's consort talking about the movements in the court. Those aristocratic families have no intention of giving up. See I am here to punish Mr. Lang. These guys are so abominable. Mr. Lang only sent troops to exterminate the Gu family because of his rebellion. What does it have to do with them? They are really meddling in other people’s business!"
The third sister she refers to is Princess Nanping, who is married to Wang Jingzhi, Wang Gui's eldest son.
Nowadays, the undercurrent in Chang'an is surging, and all the major aristocratic families are taking action. Countless impeachment memorials are sent to Kunming Pool every day, asking the emperor to punish Fang Jun severely.
Princess Gaoyang was very angry. The Gu family hid the former emperor and raised the dead soldiers with treason. Naturally, they deserved to die. What does it have to do with those noble families? It's really annoying that one or two people have to run away like they were bitten by a mad dog!
Wu Meiniang smiled.
When it comes to political talent, she can outshine Princess Gaoyang...
"Your Highness, don't worry. Those aristocratic families are just shouting loudly. In fact, everyone knows that they won't do anything to Erlang."
Wu Meiniang said firmly.
Princess Gaoyang also knew that she could not compare to Wu Meiniang in terms of speculation about the court situation and exploration of people's hearts. This girl had a delicate heart, which even those men who claimed to be elites were not as good as...
Then he asked doubtfully: "How can you see it?"
Wu Meiniang held Princess Gao Yang's slender hand and said with a smile: "Look, after the impeachment has been going on for so long, has His Majesty never expressed his position? Are the adults in the mansion not looking sad at all?"
After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Princess Gaoyang's bright eyes sparkled: "Indeed."
Wu Meiniang chuckled lightly, her pretty face full of admiration: "So, although the husband seems to be acting recklessly and recklessly, he actually knows it well. The evidence of the Gu family's rebellion is conclusive. Even if he is a little cruel, what's wrong with that? Those The members of the aristocratic family also know that there is nothing they can do against the husband, but they are so angry and active because they want to express their concerns to His Majesty, so that His Majesty has some scruples in his heart. He should not treat all the members of the aristocratic family as if they are like the Gu family and kill them whenever they want. …”
If the Gu family is allowed to be destroyed and indifferent, will it make the emperor feel that "the family is just that, and can be slaughtered at will"? From now on, there is no need to worry about the status of the family.
This is something that aristocratic families will never tolerate...
Princess Gaoyang seemed to understand but she was indifferent to these dirty intrigues.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is a person who dares to love and hate. If she hates, she will gnash her teeth and be dismissive. If she loves, she will be passionate and desperate...

The rain is lingering.
The patter of raindrops fell on the eaves, and the air was fresh and cool, dispelling the scorching heat in Guanzhong.
The trees and flowers in Zhao Guogong's mansion were washed by the rain, and they were green and colorful.
The furnishings in the study are extremely luxurious. There is a large mahogany bookcase in front of the screen, with pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed on it. There are also Burmese jade paperweights, white porcelain mandarin duck-shaped inkstones produced by Xing Kiln, a pen holder made of Xiang bamboo with a rosewood edge inlay, an exquisite small-mouth pen washer in the shape of a boy serving tea, and an ebony ink cartridge inlaid with a jade belt pattern. , as well as pen holders, pen screens, printing pools, pressure rulers, secret cabinets and other cultural toys.
There is no need to describe the details of wealth and luxury.
Calligraphy, painting, guqin, chessboard, etc. are placed on one side, showing elegance and leisure, making people feel comfortable and contented among them.
Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, was sitting across from a young scholar. The fragrance of tea was lingering and the water mist was curling up.
"This junior is about to go south tomorrow. I wonder if Zhao Guogong has any advice?"
The young scribe is in his twenties, with a fair face and sword-shaped eyebrows. He sits there with his back straight and his temperament indifferent. He is very handsome and suave. Even when facing Sun Wuji, the most powerful Duke of Zhao at that time, he still smiles. Appropriate, without any embarrassment or nervousness.
The arrogance of the children of the aristocratic family is fully displayed...
Changsun Wuji smiled faintly, poured tea for him with his own hands, and said kindly: "My father and I have been close friends for many years, and we are like brothers. Your father traveled westward on a crane, which can be regarded as a quiet time. How can I not remember you as an old friend?"
His words are kind, his attitude is kind, and his words are full of regrets, as if he is taking care of his own nephew.
The young scribe twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and gave a grateful smile: "Duke Zhao has great love and will never forget his words in this life."
Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "Don't be so formal. You and I have been friends for a long time, just like our own family members. I just said that you are going south this time to serve as the commander of the Canghai Road march. I am afraid that you will not be able to get a glimpse of the mystery for a while. If you step on the wrong foot, not only will there be no merit, but you will make a mistake. That is why I have called you here to give you a few instructions."
He has a nice smile, a kind attitude, and a strong sense of care and concern for the elders who care for the younger ones.
The young scholar was stunned...
Who are you fooling?
Think of me as a three-year-old child!
However, although Changsun Wuji does not care about his affairs now, his high status and astonishing influence rank him among the top three civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. Young scribes cannot afford to offend him, and there is no need to offend him. However, he has to take a look at Changsun Wuji's gourd. What kind of medicine is being sold...
"Uncle Shi is very kind, and my nephew is very grateful. I respectfully listen to Uncle Shi's teachings."
It was drizzling outside the window, and the raindrops hit the leaves, making a ticking sound.
Changsun Wuji took a sip of the tea cup and said with a simple and honest smile: "Even so, I won't hide it. At this time, Jiangnan is not peaceful, and my nephew must have heard about it, and the so-called Canghai Road has long been mentioned by Fang Jun. In the air, there are no more than a thousand soldiers and dozens of ships. There is not even a station with full control. Shang still has to live in Fang Jun's fiefdom. Soldier training, ship maintenance, and logistics supplies all have to go through Fang Jun's hands. , otherwise it will be difficult to move forward..."
The young scribe was stunned for a moment, and then took a breath of cold air!
Feng Yandao, the right servant of the former minister shot Feng Deyi's son. In the eighth year of Emperor Wude's reign, Feng Deyi passed away. Feng Yandao, who was only nine years old, inherited the title of his father Mi Guogong. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he granted Zuo Qianniu the title of Menyin. Be prepared to serve as a guard in the Forbidden Palace. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the 20-year-old Feng Yan Taoist priests Cheng Yi Lang and Xing Tong Shi Shi Ren officially entered the official career.
The standard promotion path for children of aristocratic families...
Moreover, Feng Yandao described him as handsome and suave, and was highly praised and favored by His Majesty Li Er.
Just last year, Feng Yandao was engaged to Li Chengxia, the twelfth daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan, the eldest princess of Huainan, and was awarded the title of Prince Consort Duwei, Tongshi Sheren, and later he was granted the title of Shangshu Simen Langzhong.
With the support of his ancestors, Feng Yandao has a smooth journey and a bright future.
Not long ago, Fang Jun was deprived of his position as chief military officer of Canghaidao's march, and Feng Yandao was granted the title of chief military officer of Canghaidao's march. Young and vigorous, in a high position, from a noble family, with royal relatives, how could such a man with such a reputation not be full of ambitions and eager to do something in Jiangnan, which is attracting the attention of the world, and lay the foundation for his career as a rising star in the officialdom?
But Changsun Wuji's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, causing Feng Yandao to wake up from his full self-confidence and boundless longing.
Sure enough, most of the apples smashed on the head are rotten...
Such a Canghai Road is subject to Fang Jun in every aspect, what else can it do?
I really don’t know what happened to Zhang Liang. Didn’t he just let Fang Jun get rounded and flattened?
Changsun Wuji could see Feng Yandao's dejection, which was also the effect he wanted.
For a young official who is aspiring to an official career, today's Jiangnan is indeed not a good place to make achievements...
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "But there is no need to be depressed, good nephew. Although Fang Jun covers the sky with one hand in Canghai Road, you are not fighting alone. As the saying goes, a true name means a word. Fang Jun has now been dismissed as the general manager of Canghai Road. Although the position has not yet been handed over, it has become a fact and is no longer controllable. Besides, how can Zhang Liang be a person like Yi? The most important thing is that all the noble families in the world are standing behind you."
Fang Jun massacred the entire Gu family and was in tit-for-tat confrontation with the family. This incident had already shaken the world, so it was impossible for Feng Yandao not to know about it. With Feng Yandao's background, it was natural to see that although the family members were clamoring for beatings and killings, it was actually unrealistic to obtain punishment for Fang Jun in the court.
After all, there is conclusive evidence of the Gu family's rebellion. This is a matter of great justice and no one can ignore it.
Then, the only place where the family members can really take action is in Jiangnan, and they can only draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron...
Feng Yandao asked respectfully: "Why did Uncle Shi teach me?"
